Bring 12 cups of water to a boil. If using soybean sprouts, put them in and boil for 12 minutes. If using mung bean sprouts, boil them for 2 minutes. (If using a combination, boil soybean sprouts for 10 minutes, add mung bean sprouts, and cook for 2 more.)

Drain thoroughly and squeeze out as much water as possible.

Put the sprouts into a bowl and add all the other ingredients and mix well.
